"15 year old student, Tom Vendetta has been hired by search engine giant Google Inc. The student will receive a lowered salary, which will be placed into a bank account for future education, said Google CEO Larry Page."

That's been reported by i-newswire. So I read the article stating...

"Vendetta will be incharge of working with recent security flaw's in Google's beta e-mail service, "Gmail". " - it said that they found him after reading his blog. I'm thinking this is insane and has to be the wierdest thing ever, this kid has to be the next
einstein or something...so I read his blog...

"I was looking around on http://digg.com, and came across an interesting submission showing how to fool google's news system. Me being the curious person I am, read the article and proceeded to try it."
